A message from Dr. Tim Newman, DCSD superintendent:
From the beginning of the pandemic, we have remained committed to doing all we can to protect our students, our staff, and our families from COVID-19 while ensuring our students receive the education and services they need and deserve. I believe most of our students do best in a face-to-face learning environment, and I was truly hoping we would be able to return to school once the Christmas break was over.

1 January 2021 spells out a new year for Well-Being Australia and this would be a good idea for a new year article.
The first thing to note is the excitement of any church who plants a new congregation and to witness that new Christian work develop, expand and become established on its own two feet.
This happened mid year at the church we worship – Living Temple Christian Church (Tugun Baptist) (lower Gold Coast) who planted a new church at Coolanagatta and now a third fellowship at Banora Point just across the NSW border.
So too Well-Being Australia with its young writer ministry – Press Service International – PSI - who were awarded the Australasian Religious Press Association (ARPA) premier award in 2019 - The Gurenberg.
